1 June 2025 (distant foghorn)

distant foghorn . . .

she crushes the sweetfern

to share its scent

31 May 2025 (scenic highway)

scenic highway

my car drives over

a crow’s shadow

30 May 2025 (slow awakening)

slow awakening . . .

a mourning dove’s coos

in morning fog

29 May 2025 (river)

river swelling with rain the rattle of a wren

28 May 2025 (morning sun)

morning sun

spring’s first swallowtail

flits past the lilac

27 May 2025 (bobolink song)

bobolink song . . .

twin ruts of a farm track

shine with rainwater

26 May 2025 (memorial bench)

memorial bench

she sits and listens

for a cardinal

25 May 2025 (waves wet)

waves wet

the beach cobbles . . .

cooing eiders

24 May 2025 (twilight chill)

twilight chill

a distant woodcock

repeats his call

23 May 2025 (storm swell)

storm swell

gulls dipping in and

out of sight

22 May 2025 (gale warning)

gale warning

a blossom-white apple tree

rustles with waxwings
